Truefire Session Legends [TUTORiAL]

The best session musicians don’t just play the notes—they shape the sound of legendary records. In Session Legends, Fred Tackett and Scott Sharrard invite you into the studio to break down 14 iconic tracks that Fred helped bring to life—either as a session guitarist, songwriter, or both.

From Rod Stewart’s “Tonight’s the Night” to Boz Scaggs’ “Lido Shuffle,” Jackson Browne’s “The Pretender,” and Little Feat classics like “Texas Twister” and “Oh Atlanta,” you’ll get an inside look at the guitar work that helped define these and other legendary songs.

In each lesson, Fred and Scott unpack the techniques, tones, and creative decisions behind these recordings. You’ll hear the stories, gain insight into Fred’s approach to session work, and learn how to craft guitar parts that leave a lasting impact.

You’ll explore:

• Signature session techniques – What makes a great session player, and how to adapt to different artists
• Studio collaboration – Locking in with the groove and complementing the band
• Tone & gear insights – How to dial in classic, timeless sounds
• Songwriting advice – Crafting melodies, chord progressions, and guitar parts that stand the test of time

Each section wraps up with a jam session, so you can hear these parts in action. And with TrueFire’s interactive tools—tab sync, slow-mo, looping, and fretboard animations—you’ll have everything you need to learn at your own pace.

“In this course, we’ll dissect these 14 classic recordings and how Fred was involved—sharing his insights and techniques,” says Scott. “Then we’ll jam together, so you can hear the parts he crafted and try them out yourself—or come up with your own.”

“Music has the power to inspire, connect, and transform lives,” adds Fred. “I’m excited to share my experiences and insights with you all.”

So grab your guitar, step into the session, and let’s make some music!
